If the 2024 hurricane season taught us anything, it’s that proper training and education is a must. Total damages are upwards of $500 billion. Many homes and commercial structures require services from our industry professionals.

Training and education provide your technicians with the knowledge and skills to safely identify, assess and remediate, while minimizing health risks and staying compliant with industry standards and local laws.

Key reasons why training is important for mold remediation:

  • Occupant and Technician Health: Mold exposure can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues and other health problems. Proper training ensures your technicians understand how to handle mold safely and protect themselves and others from potential health risks.

  • Accurate Assessment: Training allows your technicians to properly assess the extent of contamination and determine the appropriate remediation methods based on the situation.

  • Containment and Removal Techniques: Mold remediation involves specific protocols that help manage mold contamination and avoid cross-contamination. These are only effective when your technicians receive proper training in containment techniques, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and cleaning procedures.

  • Compliance with Regulations and Licensing: Several states have regulations regarding mold remediation, assessment and training which ensures your technicians are aware of the required standards and procedures to comply with local laws.

  • Minimizing property damage: By understanding the proper cleaning techniques for mold removal, your trained technicians can minimize damage to structural materials while effectively addressing the mold problem.

  • Professional Credibility: Achieving certification through training signifies a dedication to quality and expertise, which in turns build trust with your customers and ensures they receive quality and dependable mold remediation services.

At minimum mold remediation training should cover the overall understanding of indicator molds, health effects, inspection and assessment techniques, containment procedures and negative air pressure systems, proper use of chemical processes to aid in source removal, management of airflow, PPE, removal and cleaning methods, moisture control strategies and regulatory compliance and reporting requirements. 

Mold remediation isn’t just about fixing a problem, it’s about doing it safely, effectively and professionally. Learn more about training, regulations and more here.
